Both parties involved Ariana so he couldn’t choose which one to hear first. His heart was just gladdened that Carter had been able to get every piece of information for him. “They are both of equal priority so any of them is fine.”“I kind of like Angelina and Bruce Dante’s love story so I will begin with that one,” Carter scoffed at the end of the line. Caddaric realized that it wasn’t what it seemed.“I’m listening.”“Angelina is suffering from kidney failure but she is unaware.”“How is that possible?” Caddaric asked. There were symptoms for all health conditions. Wasn’t she seeing the signs or she was just reading them wrongly? With all that she has, why won’t she see a specialist? The more Caddaric asked the questions internally, the more convinced he was that something didn’t add up.“She shows the symptoms and goes to the hospital but Bruce keeps the results from her and has warned the doctors not to tell her, although he is searching for a donor for her,” Carter explained and
Ariana grabbed the glass door in time to prevent herself from crashing into the two ladies. One of them looked very familiar, with long heavy black hair, and Ariana instantly recalled that she had seen her on TV during Caddaric’s introduction. That was Cassandra Blade, his sister. She was very pretty with a few similarities to Caddaric. The woman next to her was adorned with a different kind of beauty. Her hair was blonde and her skin was milk white with beautiful hazel eyes. However, She looked arrogant and unapproachable. Ariana could sense trouble. “You must be the cleaner right? Is my brother in?”Cassandra asked all at once, while she blinked. Ariana felt stupid for a while and agreed. “Yes, I came to clean but he isn’t up so I’ll be back later,” she said, and tried to squeeze through the two ladies but Cassandra blocked her path and squeezed her hand.“Miranda, why don’t you check on him,” she said to the woman next to her, who quickly passed Ariana as if she wasn’t in the doo
Ariana’s eyes were wide open, as the waves of shock spread through her before she began to respond to his demanding and obsessive kiss. As suddenly as he started it, he stopped, pursed his thin lips, and pulled away. Regret flashed in his eyes but it was gone with a blink. Her heart sank but she was grateful to have a taste of his lips. It was so soft and addictive. “I…” Caddaric was about to apologize but Ariana cut in.“Don’t tell me you are sorry. It will make me feel bad.” She could see the complicated emotions in his eyes and could tell that what he felt for her wasn't ordinary but was he willing to accept it?“I shouldn’t have done that to you,” he confirmed. He was scared because he wanted more of her after kissing her right now. The Blade heirs could have a woman on the side after their betrothed but he knew that that option would hurt her. He would die before he caused her any form of pain. It was better to not let it happen again. Going by the flow only made it worse because
Miranda’s heart was pounding in her chest. What should she say? She definitely couldn’t reveal the identity of the person calling her. It was even worse that he didn’t stop calling. It seemed as if his phone was on automatic redial.“Answer the phone,” Caddaric said coldly. Surprisingly, he was patient with her, which made her more afraid. Right now, she wished that he would climb upstairs and not come down till she spoke to the person on the phone.“It….it’s just my mom. I will call her later,” Miranda faked a smile.Why did Caddaric feel like she was lying to him? Her mother would not call her knowing that she had come to see him so what was she hiding? The Wreath family was the responsibility of the Blades because they had been bound to them.“Oh, let me talk to her then,” he said calmly, with his hands stretched towards her.Miranda’s hands were instantly shaky but she tried her best to not lose her phone, which she only held tighter. “Ehmmm,”Caddaric’s hand was still held out but
Ariana had to think carefully. She enjoyed working as his secretary because the man was busy and kept everything professional but thinking about her future, what if something happened between them and their relationship turned sour?She might lose her job as a secretary and go back to being a waitress, which would be shameful, more like a fall from grace kind of story. It was better she kept both and reported to different bosses. If anything happened between them, she could still work with her head high. Her response was a subtle, “No.”Caddaric knew he was playing with fire by insisting because he didn’t know how long he would be able to hold back that burning desire. Still, it only felt worse to be away from her. “What if I add the job of a supervisor instead of a waitress? I’ll increase your working hours as my secretary and reduce your hours as a supervisor. Your salary will also be adjusted accordingly.”It sounded good to Ariana but she felt strange at the way he kept changing
The man was dismayed. He thought she would be happy to see him but she was rather apprehensive. He was tall, and muscular with dark brown hair, matching his brown eyes. His baritone voice was warm but his eyes weren’t. “Do you not want to see me?” he asked with disappointment.Cassandra took a step back and looked around for anything to anchor herself with. She was sure that should she scream, he might kill her before her father reached her. The last time they met at the graduation party which was open to the public, this guy was interesting, stealing her heart but with this move, she was afraid. “I must confess that you freaked me out. I don't even know your name.”“You can call me Al,” his eyes softened as he said. Cassandra wasn’t convinced. She was security conscious and wasn’t moved by what she felt. Her sense of reasoning was stronger. “I can? Or that is your name?” She asked emotionlessly. The man smiled a little.“The name is Allan Great but for you, it's Al.”The name didn’t
When Ariana ran out of Cadaric’s office, Chad was waiting for her. He suspected something but didn’t want to conclude it on hearsay.“Ariana, do you have a special relationship with our boss?” He asked suspiciously. Ariana was a little nervous but her head was high, and she wondered what gave Chad that idea.“No, why do you ask?” Ariana denied it quickly and asked. Chad was unhappy, feeling that she was lying to him. “Rumors. Walk with me,” he said calmly. Ariana walked beside him as he spoke. “People are talking that they’ve seen you enter a car with him after the close of work. Others have seen you coming out of his exclusive hotel room and whatnot.”Ariana swallowed tightly. This wasn’t good. She had to take away that notion, beginning with Chad. “I’m his secretary so it’s normal to be seen with my boss a lot of times right?”Chad was about to answer her when someone interrupted him. “Chad, we are running out of drinks,” the bar manager approached him and said.“Send the list of it
The music in the club was still ongoing so they hadn’t drawn so much attention. People were still dancing around, drinks served, and all. Whereas, curious eyes were also watching. Those who knew Prado were amazed to see Caddaric stand up to him but they feared for him because Prado was ruthless, especially with his four assassin bodyguards who had now surrounded him.Prado thought Caddaric was a joker and burst into insatiable laughter. Perhaps Caddaric had been caged in the academy for too long and not known that Prado was in charge. He should have done his homework well. Prado's bodyguards joined him in the explosion of laughter. Juliet and Chad were equally afraid. The assistant manager had also come around but stood afar. Their boss shouldn’t have intervened in Prado’s affairs. So what would happen now? Ariana was the only one who knew what that handsome Prince Charming was capable of and not afraid for him.Her only worry was, people were talking and he came out to save her again
